There is now a task in the OSM Task Manager to help coordinate the
effort at http://tasks.openstreetmap.us/project/104
There is also a WMS layer of Texas statewide streets available at
http://maps.mapwise.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=maps/fmo-base-osm-texas.map&
- use that URL in JOSM.
Adding WMS layer to JOSM tutorial here:

The streets are from: https://tnris.org/data-catalog/entry/txdot-roadways/
